Dolly Waddell: The Mirror Moment

What happens when you really look at yourself — and don’t look away?
In this episode of Who’s Elvis Around Here?, Chris Baréz-Brown sits down with leadership consultant and founder of The People Performance Consultancy, Dolly Waddell, for a raw, funny, and deeply practical conversation about ambition, identity, and unlocking human potential.
Dolly shares the pivotal “mirror moment” that changed her life — from being a vicar’s wife and stay-at-home mum to building a fast-growing leadership business by following curiosity, courage, and a thousand phone calls worth of breadcrumbs.
Together, Chris and Dolly explore:
- Why looking yourself in the eye can be the most confronting leadership tool of all
- How changing the rules of your life can unlock trapped ambition
- The Drama Triangle (Victim, Persecutor, Rescuer) — and how leaders can flip it to create ownership, challenge, and coaching
- Why language shapes performance more than strategy
- How most meetings, agendas, and job titles are quietly killing energy
- Fun, rollerblades, Michael McIntyre — and why play is a serious leadership skill
This is a conversation about leading with humanity, precision, and energy — without losing joy, hope, or yourself along the way.
🎧 If you’re a leader, founder, or anyone feeling a bit “trapped” by the life you’re meant to be grateful for, this episode will hit home.
